I Have been rejected by Leicester City Council for disability relief on my council tax because I don't have an extra kitchen or bathroom specially adapted for me.I do how ever have another room specially for improving my balance and strength but this doesn't help me to qualify

    Hi @Mrsigns1, welcome to the community. Sorry to hear you've been rejected for the council tax relief. Different councils have different criteria and sometimes it doesn't seem to make much sense what counts.

    Most councils will allow you to appeal the decision if you feel you've got a case for it. You could try chatting to Citizens Advice to see if they can help in any way:
